Spinward Fringe Broadcast 0: Origins
on Aug. 05, 2009
I've always enjoyed watching science-fiction more than reading it, but "The First Light Chronicles Omnibus" is a sci-fi trilogy of novellas that I loved reading. There's an innocence to the characters and the story initially, but through some plot twists that I never saw coming, the story ends with a big risk that yielded an even bigger pay-off. You get to know Lalonde's characters like you would any friends. Their personalities and quirks emerge the longer you spend with them and you can't wait until you get to see them again. This series is a great foundation for Lalonde's "Spinward Fringe" series. I would recommend anyone to invest in these stories and characters.
